Cultural Grants

Administered through the Oakville Arts Council

Each year since 1989, the Town of Oakville has provided operating and project grants to qualified not-for-profit cultural organizations. The Oakville Arts Council, on behalf of the Town of Oakville administers this process at-arms length, with the applications reviewed by the Cultural Grants Review Committee commissioned by and responsible to the Board of Directors of the Oakville Arts Council.  Over the past 33 years, 64 different cultural organizations in Oakville have benefited from support of approximately $2.3 million. 

Information for applicants:

Applying for funding is done in two stages:

1. Organizations that received funding in 2022 must complete a Final Report (due September 16, 2022) prior to applying for 2023 funding.

2. If your final report is approved by the jury, you will be invited to apply for 2023 funding. You will receive confirmation via an approval letter which will contain a link to the grant application. The application deadline for 2023 funding will be in November 2022.

If this is the first time applying for funding from this program, or if you have not applied in the previous year(s), the first step is to submit a Statement of Interest which is due September 16, 2022. You will submit this statement using our grants portal at: https://oac.amsnetwork.ca/
